高三英语周测试题

虎门中学高三周测英语试题1 第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) A The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside. There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long. There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures. Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater:The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass. It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed. Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere. “And we came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled. This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film. Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films. Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came here all the time. Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions. “We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan. Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards steal the scene. 21. The first two paragraphs want to show that__________. A. living in Broome is inconvenient B. the life in Broome is boring C. few people like to live in Broome D. Broome is simple but vast 22. Sun Pictures is different from other theaters because _________. A. it is the most historical outdoor theater in the world B. the audience can either sit on chairs or on the grass C. it was built by some constructor from Hollywood D. all the films were imported here from Hollywood 23. Gregory Peck is most probably the name of_________. A. a place B. a film C. a movie star D. a country fellow

Someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot. 6 No one is born knowing how to study. You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them. Pay attention: Good studying starts in class When you pay attention in class, you are starting the process of learning and studying. Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Is it hard to see the board? 7 Good notes = Easier studying 8 Try your best to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It’s also a good idea to keep your notes and papers organized by subject. 9 Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test will make a homework night no fun!

B Jazz guitarist Joel Harrison came of age in 1960s and 70s’Washingt on,but he never saw it as a place to build a career as an adventurous,progressive musician.Everywhere he's gone,however,he’s taken the sounds of the city with him. “Growing up in that area allowed me access to a lot of different kinds of music,”says Har rison,61,who’s now based in New York after living in Boston and San Francisco.“Southern music traditions—old-time music,bluegrass,country—as well as jazz and R&B.” All of those appear to some degree in Free Country,a project Harrison began in 2003 as a means of filtering (渗透)country and bluegrass compositions through a up-to-date jazz sound and sensibility.On his new album,“Angel Band:Free Country V ol.3,”Harrison,on guitar and vocals(演唱),and his band take on many traditional bluegrass songs.Each cut is really kind of its own,distinct sound world.Since Harrison released the first two Free Country albums,he has produced 14 other albums.The Free Country releases,though,have been his most successful,and established his reputation. In particular,Harrison drew inspiration from Danny Gatton,a D.C.guitar hero who similarly combines the local musical currents.Harrison was a self-described adorer of Gatton,going to attend his countless performances. Harrison is also a composer.His work,rooted in progressive Jazz but exploring multiple types,is often through-composed and highly complex.He received a Guggenheim scholarship in2010 to compose and record an,eight-movement piece.The tunes he plays with Free Country are simpler,based on conventions of folk and pop music—which,for Harrison,is a large part of their appeal. The music that he’s covering timeless,and he aims to find endless currency in its timeless simplicity by maintaining me soul of the compositions and also adding a modern context and a modem language to it.24.What exposed Harrison to various music? A.His growth environment.B.His current place of residence. C.His family background.D.Touring the country. 25.What do we know about Joel Harrison? A.He has released 14 albums in total so far. B.He showed a new jazz style in Free Country. C.He earned large profits by releasing Free Country. D.He was inspired to hold many performances by Gatton. 26.What’s Harrison’s goal of creating music? A.To put modern elements into the languages. B.To develop different styles based on previous jazz. C.To compose more pieces and release more albums. D.To seek great popularity in its permanent simplicity. C Gene therapy(基因治疗)is a revolutionary new technique for treating people with health problems.Up until very recently,the most commonly available methods for treating patients were either through drugs or operations.Gene therapy provides a third option for treatment by transforming or replacing cells with new genetic materials and instructions.Scientists can be very precise in the kinds of changes they make in patients. Gene therapy works by using a delivery system,such as a virus,to enter a patient’s body.Once inside the body,the virus combines with a host cell and delivers the new DNA.The proteins then begin to repair the affected cells.New techniques have focused on removing cells from the patients and transforming them outside the body before reintroducing them to the patients. The two types of gene therapy are called somatic and germline.Somatic therapy refers to changing or replacing a body cell.In this case,the treatment is restricted to the patient only.This will not affect the patient’s future children because the patient's germ(生殖)cells are unaffected.In germline therapy,the patient germ cells are treated,which may affect the patient's future generation.This is highly controversial(有争议的)because it is not clear exactly how this might affect them and further generations.For this reason,many countries have passed laws that prohibit this kind of treatment. Despite the promise of gene therapy,there are still many barriers that need to be overcome before it comes into widespread use.One of the issues is that the use of viruses to deliver DNA may actually cause unexpected problems in patients if the virus grows and attacks the body. Another problem is the nature of many diseases is very complex and spread throughout multiple genes. The use of gene therapy to change a single gene in the body would probably not be sufficient as a cure.Finally,the costs of gene therapy are high. Some gene therapy procedures may cost over$1 million to undertake and require specialized doctors and equipment. 27.What does the underlined word“them”in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Techniques.B.Cells.C.Patients.D.Proteins. 28.What can we learn about gene therapy? A.Gene therapy has been put into practice widely. B.The cells of patients are developed in healthy people. C.Viruses entering the body can mix with host cells and form new DNA. D.Both somatic and germline therapy have side effects on later generations. 29.What's the last paragraph mainly about? A.The disadvantages of gene therapy.B.The promising future of gene therapy. C.The high costs of treatment procedures.D.The issues related to viruses and complex genes.30.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Why Gene Therapy Procedures Are Extremely Expensive B.Gene Therapy:A Dangerous New After-operation Treatment C.Gene Therapy:A Contemporary Progressive Treating Method D.Scientists Are Accurate in Performing the Categories of Surgery
